it was announced today!
A-level results will be released on 2nd march, which is this coming friday!
at first i thought it was just rumour. not until mom called to tell me that she heard it from the news then i knew that it's really true.
seriously, ever since the day i got the news from xh, i haven't been able to sleep well. i'm one kind who can't sleep well when nervous. i'm worried for my chemistry, my physics, my maths, my gp... basically everything except chinese. not say i'm very confident abt my chinese, but at least i know i won't get anything below a B. but for the rest, i really don't know. i don't even want to think about it anymore but i just can't help it. i think about it at work, at meal times, before i sleep and even in my dreams....
this is troubling me and i just wanna get it over and done with! i don't wanna be nervous anymore!
sms-ed with many and realised they share the same feeling as me too.
it's ok, we'll just pray hard k? think i'll just leave everything to God. what should have been done is done. God brought us to it, and i'm sure He will bring us through it too.
so see u guys at school on friday! (: relaks, relaks, relaks.

and guess what?? i'm so in love with kimchi! for the past two days i have been going down with my colleague to taka B2 to taste the exotic korean food. don't know whether it's bcos i ate too much, i hav stomachache now...damn.
and the post-CNY sales is like really bad. taka during weekdays and working hours is like ghost town. other than the promoters, we hardly see people walking around. that's y we hav the time to go down to buy food. hahas.
but it's also quite fun cos we can gather and gossip and nobody will bother to stop us...but, my incentives for this month will suffer!! aiks.

haizz. ok, see u all so0n....
take care. hope we will all shed the tears of joy on friday, instead of that for disappointment. (*

without knowing it has come to the 3rd day of CNY. why does wonderful time always pass so quickly?
woke up in the morning and realised that this month has only 28 days. (haha i'm a bit slow!)which means, results day is actually nearer than what i thought it is. feeling reallie scared and nervous... but the good thing is that, i'm also nearer to getting my second pay cheque!!!

sigh. going to go Singapore later cos' gotta start working again tml. the moment i think about it i'll feel damn sian. and i'll be working full shift somemore! WTH. while the rest of the people are enjoying themselves at home, i'll be standing in taka. how pathetic! and while the rest of the people are enjoying good food at home, i'll be having the tasteless and suckie canteen food. sigh. see, this's another bad thing about working.

miss my relatives in hometown to bits! haven't been going back to kampar near to 3 years. grandpa always calls to ask us to go back, but it's just too far and rush for us to return. the journey takes us more than 8 hours and there's really no point to spend so much time travelling and we stay there for only two days. and it's really tiring for dad to drive alone. maybe wait till i complete my driving lessons then i can spare some of dad's tiredness.


when i thought everything has come to an end, the sms brought hope to me again.
i hope it's a good beginning.
it was really cute! (:
should i give up or should i not?

blogging again...
it's hard for me to suppress my excitement, so i just wanna blog about this before the feeling is gone.
CHINESE NEW YEAR is here, and i'm going home today!!!
believe me, spending time with ur family on CNY is the happiest thing u can do in life. regardless of how busy u are during working days, how stressed u are over ur job, on this very day, u'll just forget about them all and have fun. i don't know whether the same thing goes to everybody, but for me, it is, at least for now.

i'm gonna help mummy prepare for reunion dinner today, and though we are not going back hometown this year, i know it's gonna be of great fun to just stay at home, and to have some quality time with my parents and sisters.

4 days off from work. it's like really really fantastic!

my views on working experience so far?
i won't say that it's tough. just think that it's totally different from studying. it's actually a whole new kind of experience.
studying is stressful, but u'll never feel like quitting. if u ever make a mistake, it's true that u'll get some scoldings or even punishment from the teachers. but at the end of the day, u'll still be given a chance to undo it.
but when working, once a mistake is made it's made. nothing can be changed and no one will give u the chance to redeem anything. that's my observation so far.
but i'm still learning. may switch job after 3 months and hav different experience in other areas. see how.

CNY resolutions?
nothing much.
be mature. be good. and to improve myself.

last but not least,

HAPPY CNY EVERYBODY! muacks...

cheerios! (*

finally back to blogging.
after two weeks of MIA.

yesterday was valentines day. it was a day so filled with happiness and warmth, even for people who is unattached and single like me. looking at people around (not all but some) receiving flowers from their significant halves, draining every bit of their brain juice to think of a present to give to their bfs/gfs, the feeling of envy is inevitable. but thinking about it in a positive way, who says v day is just for couples? it can be for friends also. hearts really warmed when i received smses and greetings from friends.
called mum at night and talked to her. really, she said relationship this kind of thing cannot rush one. when u are so eagerly yearning for it, it just doesnt seem to appear. but when u are so disappointed and almost losing hope, it just so miraculously happens to you. just like what happened to sis.

but the strange thing is that, after so many years, it's just so so hard for me to meet the right one. those whom i like(d) are interested in either someone else, or something else. and those who like(d) me are those whom i'm not interested in at all. GOSH. maybe it just takes time for me to search for the best? the matter is, HOW LONG MORE?
guess for the type of gurl like me, i still hav to wait for very long. i'm looking for one who's mature and thoughtful. and guys around my age now are usually playful and childish. SIGH.
but i'm not eager. i'm still waiting.

my bestie got attached again wiv her ideal guy ytd. . (to meai, wish u all the best, and i believe for this time, it will last.)

enough of nonsense. time for happy stuffs.
i got my very 1st pay cheque one week ago. and it just feels soooo great to spend money that u earned though ur own sweat. i don't know how to express it but it just feels so different. bought lotsa things. and now i'm planning, after getting my second pay cheque two weeks later, i'm gonna buy my dreamt bag and shoes. yes i gave my pierre cardin wallet a miss this month, wait till later, i'll surely bring it home.
hahas. all the materialistic craps. but i'm not a material girl ok...
everything has it flip side. it's like without knowing, more than half of my pay is already gone, and i hav got to struggle for the rest of the month. but who cares, ang pows ang pows on the way... haha...

hav got to mention about class chalet also.
it was...erm...how to say...not really as fun as i expected. but we had a great time spent together.
and damn. when we played 'zong ji mi ma', my forfeit was to act as a pole and aik the dancer. and thanks to whoever it was who took the video of it, now i'm being blackmailed by the cruel xh. SOB.
went for pool and arcade the nz day. hahas. i wasn't an expert in that though.
anyway, it was fun and hope to see s13-nians soon on results day.
oops. results? did i just mention results? illusion. there's no such thing.
aiks!

okay, take care pals.

i don't know how long i've got to wait before i know the truth.
when on earth will the secret unveil itself?
where's sarah now?
who was angxin who smsed me two years ago?
was he really just a passer-by?
is everything he said true or false?
what was the motive then?

everything jus seems to be so not right.
i tried to link eveything together but to no avail.
jus tell me how. and why.
and what can i do to make them all linked?
it's mysterious. and i really hate it.

is everything jus a stupid prank?

Time: 3:20:00 PM

yes. one 'one-week-once' off day is here. yay yay yay. ;)

last week of work hadn't been much of a pleasant experience for me.
in fact i was totally pissed off. by some goddamn customers.
okay. u guys read the stories and make ur judgment see who's in the right k.

case 1:

a customer who apparently doesn't know what a belt is for, bought a belt from dunhill in april 2005. i repeat, april 2005. she actually kept this belt inside the drawer for 1 year without using. so, in around dec last year, she took it out and realised that there were stains on the belt. therefore, she brought it back to our counter and asked for service. so, we polished the belt for her for two times, and called her to come and collect. and when she went to collect, she wasn't satisfied with the results and asked for a refund. A REFUND!!! omg! she bought it for almost two years, and it's already long past the warrantee period, and she was asking for a refund. what the hell. somemore it wasn't our fault that the stains appeared. it's bcos she kept inside the drawer, and due to moist or smthg, the stains appeared.
so, in the end, i called my boss, and that lady talked to my boss using MY phone for almost ten minutes. damn.
i wanted to jus shout at her, 'u b*tch. can't you just stop showing me that f*cked-up face and stop b*tching around here?'
oops. sorry. i'm jus too pissed with that stupid lady.
so at the end, she won. due to the fear of losing a customer, my boss gave in and agreed to give her a new piece. what the hell.
is this fair or not? huh???


case 2:
this stupid lady was looking at the branie belt which is some sort of plastic thingy which works like a belt. she asked me with that 'i'm-rich-and-so-i'm-superior' kind of tone how to wear that belt.
i replied her politely that i'm not the promoter for that brand and so i'm not sure. i told her mayb i can get someone else to help her or smthg.
then she wasn't happy and said,
'no no, this's not an excuse. u work for takashimaya and u should know this'.
damn. she doesn't even have common sense. does that mean that i have to know everything under taka including the different types of vegetables in cold storage??? stupid!!
after that i got a guy and my supervisor to attend to her and they were very pissed with her also.

haizz. sometimes it can get really frustrating but from these i also learnt to be more patient, and got to see the ugly faces of some people.
seriously, if i were to rank the attitude of customers from the best to worst, it'll be

1.indians
2.caucasians
3.japanese and all other asians exp chinese.
4. malays
5.eurasians
.
.
.
.
.
sad to say. the very very last ones are the chinese. both locals and mainlanders.
i'm so ashamed with my own race. is it true that we will all get haughty when we get rich?
sigh.


hmm. if studying can get paid, i don't mind studying for the rest of my life instead of working.
but i guess i should learn to take up the challenges.

so far i still find my job ok. just that it's getting more and more challenging and sometimes, frustrating.

sighz.

anyway, looking forward to love fiesta and class chalet.
can't wait to see u guyss...



and i miss ff.
don't know how he's coping with army life?
sigh.
